Rolling mill finishing equipment is a class of industrial machinery used to produce high-quality rolled products. It comprises several types of rolling machines, which are usually mounted on rails. The purpose of the finishing machines is to produce parts with a smooth surface and accurate dimensions. The main types of rolling mill finishing equipment include:
-Friction rollers: These are used to apply a uniform pressure to the finished product, which helps to eliminate any irregularities or flaws on the surface.
-Paint rollers: These are also known as greasers, and are typically used to apply a protective coating or finish to the product.
-Sheet rolls: These are used to create large sheets of fabric or paper, which can then be cut into desired shapes or sizes.
